DAS only showing IEXG

[DAS only showing IEXG]

Hey guys,

 

I just switched over from the trial of DAS simulator to the purchased version of DAS simulator.  I went in and loaded my desktop that I have been using.  For some reason it is only showing IEXG in the Level 2 now.  I have no changed any settings.  Can someone help me get this back to normal?

If you are using DAS Trader Free trial, market data is real-time ONLY for Nasdaq Exchange traded stocks but delayed for all other Exchanges.

Great point Abiel. I read his comment as the charts not showing anything  But if it's just not updating, then that's probably it!

Yes, I am using the free trial of DAS currently so this most likely explains it.  I should have been more specific.  Thanks for the help guys.

Hello,

I seem to be having some problems with my DAS Charts.  For certain stocks when they are up on my charts it seems that they are not updating in real time.  When I switch over to another ticker sometimes the problems dissapears and sometimes it does not.  I have not seen this problem on any other videos I have watched.  Can anyone help me with this?

[Show us your set-up!]

Hey guys, I am looking into buying a new computer for trading.  I am trying to not spend a ton but the money is not a huge issue.  Preferably around $500 range but if it would be worth it to spend a couple hundred more I would be willing to do it.  Does anybody have any recommendations on some desktops to look into? Also any tips on additional monitors, and would it be wise to purchase these monitors brand new or are used ones acceptable?

Hi Riley, all I can advise on is that you do not want less stable OS's like book-camp etc running your trading platform. I suggest simple building/buying a dedicated trading computer ~$500 (like Andrew recommends in his classes) while you learn to trade. Even if you get things working, stability could still be an issue and the last thing you want is to load up DAS on your phone to exit a position because your desktop crashed.

 

Good points Brendon.  I was debating getting a new setup already so maybe that will be the best option.  

[Parallel Desktop or Bootcamp on Mac]

Hello,

 

I am tryin to run the DAS trader pro simulator on my Mac.  At first I had downloaded Parallel Desktop and DAS and it seemed to work fine for the first couple of days, until finally DAS would no longer open.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it did not seem to work either.  I also emailed DAS support and they told me that DAS only ran on windows software and nothing else.  I then downloaded bootcamp to run Windows, and once I was on it I was not able to connect to Wifi.  Does anybody run DAS on any of these programs or have any suggestions?

@Riley Hextell I do run a Parallel desktop and a windows 10 install. I will install DAS later next week. But I believe that the setup with W10 and Parallel Desktop should work for DAS. You can always tweak the virtual cpu and the RAM for better performance. You can also bootcamp, even though it's not my preference.

 

Ok thanks.  I am not to familiar with all of that but I will look into it.

Hi,

the same, I started for some weeks ago, I’m doing a lot of reading. Had Andrew’s first book cleared, starting the second one. 
I will be running my day trading on a mac with Parallels desktop and windows 10, a second screen of 22”. I made my mind when it comes to the broker and to the platform, CMGE and DAS.

@Rob C are you using trade ideas?

thanks

Hi Fabien,

 

I finished the first book about two weeks ago also and should be receiving the second tomorrow so I can read that one.  Have you been trading paper stocks? How has your experience been so far?

Are you using a simulator yet? The DAS sim would be my first recommendation. 

I have been day trading on my laptop for 2 years now and I haven't grown out of it yet. I do have the laptop running two external monitors. 

The community recommends the DAS platform with Interactive Brokers or CMEG for day trading. Check the links on the BBT site for recommendations:

Hey Rob, no I am not in a simulator yet.  I thought I had seen that DAS wasnt supported by Mac but maybe I am wrong.  Thanks for the recommendations though!

Hello everybody!

 

My name is Riley and I am super excited to start trading with this community.  I am brand new to day trading and have been debating getting into it for around a year now.  I would love to get some tips from you guys on what brokerage you are using, what a good setup would look like, and any other tips you guys can think of.  Currently I have an account with Robinhood but I dont know if that is the best option for day trading.  Also I only have a laptop currently, so recommendations to types of desktops, monitors, etc would be appreciated.
